HOW TO TUESDAY





This is one of my favorite make up looks - the winged liner and red lip combo. Universally flattering on any skin color and any age. Its Old Hollywood meets Parisian girl. Marilyn Monroe meets Scarlett Johansson - to me its the epitome of sexy for a very special occasion.
 
Although flattering, its not easy to replicate. Those who dare try on their own can teeter on well, clown face.... while others teeter on street walker. You need to find a balance when wearing these together. The key here is to keep the eye liner minimal and blot blot blot those lips to lessen the intesnisty of the red.
 
I absolutely love this sultry look. Ive added some how to's below for you to try, let me know how it goes!

TIP: Try your local Sephora for free samples of different reds to play with before settling on "the color".
TIP #2: Lightly sweep/blot on gold toned gloss in the middle part of your pout to enhance your lips as well as lightly dust on a nude shimmer on your cupids bow for an extra pout effect.
